 Acknowledgement

First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to Almighty Allah to enabling me to complete this report
on Solidworks.

Successfully completion of any type of project requires help from a number of persons. I’ve also taken help
from different people for the preparation of this report. Now, there is a little effort to show my deep gratitude
to that helpful person.

I convey my sincere gratitude to my Solidworks Professor, Md. Imran, Assistant Professor of CAD
Software, Lovely Professional University. Without his kind direction and proper guidance this study
would have been a little success. In every phase of the project his supervision and guidance shaped this
report to be completed perfectly.

I would also like to thank my friends of Solidworks classes and as well as my classmates from batch M1792
to give a vivid idea about the Solidworks Software.

 HISTORY AND INTRODUCTION

Fact File

Developed by Dassault Systèmes

First released 1995

Latest release SolidWorks 2018 (October 18, 2017)

• SolidWorks today is well known as one of Dassault Systèmes’ flagship applications,

but it actually started life outside the company. MIT graduate Jon Hirschtick founded
the SolidWorks Corporation, the company which first developed the software, in 1993.
After two years of work, the first version of SolidWorks was ready for release in
November 1995. It was an instant hit, bringing solid modelling to a wider audience than
ever before.

• In 1997, Dassault Systèmes acquired SolidWorks for $310 million. It was great news
for SolidWorks, who were able to take advantage of Dassault’s clout and existing CAD
experience—the latter having already developed the powerful CATIA software.
Meanwhile, Dassault Systèmes reaped the benefits of their new acquisition, which, over
time, acquired a user base of over 3.2 million.

 WHAT IS NEW IN LATEST VERSION

• Already a powerful tool when first released, SolidWorks has undergone major
development over the years. From 2001, the program was one of the pioneers in
incorporating simulation within the design process. More changes came with the most
recent edition, SolidWorks 2018, which arrived just two short months ago. The version
brought the ability to sketch freehand on touch screen devices, and integrated CAM and
topology study tools for the first time.

 APPLICATIONS OF SOLIDWORKS

The name is a giveaway: SolidWorks is a solid modelling application. It employs a parametric

feature-based approach to model creation. In layman’s terms, this means designers create
models using engineering terms, such as bosses, holes and slots, rather than using geometric
terms.

• Though best known for its 3D CAD functionality, SolidWorks also allows users to draw
accurately in 2D. In fact, SolidWorks models typically start life as 2D sketches. From
there, users can extrude their parts into three dimensions using a number of available
tools.

• SolidWorks, however, has long aimed to be more than simply a drafting application.

• As noted above, the software has included simulation tools for over a decade, allowing
users to test their parts by simulating real-world conditions. These tools include
computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools, the ability to simulate fluid flow, heat
transfer and fluid forces, and life cycle assessment (LCA) features.

• Additionally, the software includes powerful rendering features which enable users to
see photo-realistic visualizations of the parts they create.

• Other tools in SolidWorks’ extensive arsenal include PDM packages, and a range of
electrical solutions that make it simple to create accurate schematics and circuit data.

 USERS OF SOLIDWORKS

Finite Element Analysis in SolidWorks

• With such a wide range of different features, it comes as little surprise to learn that
SolidWorks has users across numerous industries. Firstly, this includes a number of
businesses in commercial industries that rely on SolidWorks for their day-to-day
operations. Key sectors here include the aerospace and automotive industries,
including major clients such as Amtrak and BAE Systems.
• As a major modelling program, engineers naturally also form a major part of the
SolidWorks user base. SolidWorks’ integrated simulation tools make it easy to evaluate
designs and materials before creating physical prototypes. One engineering client is
Daka, which managed to achieve 50% development cost savings on its sea scooter.

11
 SPECIALITIES OF SOLIDWORKS

SolidWorks users include both traditional industries, such as construction, oil and gas, and
emerging sectors, including alternative energy and robotics. With so much on offer, a range of
SolidWorks packages are available to meet various industry needs, including: -

• 3D CAD: the ‘classic’ solid modelling program that allows users to rapidly create parts,
assemblies and drawings.

• Simulation: a range of options for users looking to create better products faster and with less
waste.

• PDM: to enable teams to collaborate more effectively when developing new products; to
provide all members with secure access to files and documents.

• CAM: the solution for any business looking to integrate design and manufacturing processes.

• Electrical Design: packages that make it easy to create electrical schematics and incorporate
them within mechanical designs and 3D models—all while reducing the need for physical
prototyping.

• Visualization: create photo-realistic visuals of your projects, including both static and
animated content.

• 3D EXPERIENCE: work with your team in a collaborative environment to create new

products.

 CATIA vs SOLIDWORKS Comparison
CATIA and SOLIDWORKS are 3D modelling software developed from the same company
“DASSAULT SYSTEMS”. DASSAULT SYSTEMS is a FRENCH multinational software
company. That develops the 3D design, 3D Digital mock-up, and PLM (product lifecycle
management) software.

1. INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION

First of all, the major difference is the capability in design. CATIA is very sophisticated for
generative shape designs. SOLIDWORKS is used for the machine design. So that mostly
automotive and the aerospace industries are using CATIA. SOLIDWORKS is purely a product
to design machines.

Global customers of the CATIA and SOLIDWORKS

2. PRODUCT CAPABILITIES

CATIA provides PLM (Product lifecycle management). which includes CAD CAM CAE,
Ergonomic Analysis, And powerful CFD analysis.

• CAD: Computer-aided design

• CAM: Computer-aided Manufacturing
• CAE: Computer-aided Engineering
• CFD: Computational Fluid Dynamics
• Ergonomics analysis: The study of people efficiency in the working environment.

15
SOLIDWORKS is only meant for the 3D modelling. But of course, we can do all the above
operations. It requires third-party applications. Both the software playing a crucial role in their
own set of targets.

3. PRODUCT COST- CATIA vs SOLIDWORKS

CATIA price and the SOLIDWORKS price are listed below. The maintenance costs are
additional.

$9,000- 65,000(Depending on the modules selected).

$3,995(since not changed from its first release).

CATIA is a bit expensive CAD package than any other CAD Software. Small-scale industries
will choose SOLIDWORKS. CATIA is especially used by Aerospace industries and
Automotives.

4. USER INTERFACE- CATIA vs SOLIDWORKS

• SOLIDWORKS is a user-friendly tool.

• CATIA is a powerful tool.

 GROWTH AND FUTURE

Solidworks entered the India market through the distributor channel with a single distributor in
1998. Today, it has a network of 38 channel partners, 400 technical resources, and 250 sales
personnel. The company also has a research and development (R&D) centre in India,
employing around 2,800 people. Solidworks has doubled its business in India over the last four
years with a CAGR of 21.2 percent. Their target now is to double this number in the next three
years with a CAGR of 24.2 percent.

THE LONG-TERM BENEFITS

Solidworks does not believe that their task is over once they provide their software product to
the startup. Their reseller network then engages with these startups to educate them and provide
the necessary technical support. From engineering to manufacturing and marketing, design has
evolved to a more holistic activity that involves many disciplines. SOLIDWORKS ensure to
have the capability of easily connecting these design disciplines with tools to complete the
entire product development process in a single environment. As SOLIDWORKS 95 put the
power of 3D CAD on our desktop, it is now evolving our mission to empower with the
capabilities to take a product from art to part and beyond…directly inside of SOLIDWORKS.

CONCLUSION
This report covered the preview of our learning path and study materials. The use of
SolidWorks and AutoCAD has many advantages. It can help to reduce the time it takes to
produce the drawing needed in the work environment. SolidWorks software is the most
amazing range of mechanical computer aided design tool. It is now considered to be the best
according to industry standards that can be obtained for a wide array of designing, Mechanical
Engineering Services and other industrial purposes. This software is utilized to provide some
useful and practical designing software that will allow users to visualize as well as create
prototypes of a product in reality and quick time. Solidworks software allows developers to
give form to their out of the box ideas. However, this requires in-depth knowledge and
understanding of the entire software and its basic as well as important features.
